And what does that means? Does it mean; no more free updates after one year? or does it means that after one year, all the updates that were free, will be disabled? And what will happen to the program if the updates are expired? Will the program work? Is it Like in a trial version that limits features?
I believe it is high time GAOTD will make it mandatory for all vendors to include in the description, clearly and in simple words, for how long the license is good for, if there are any limitations or conditions.
And by clearly I mean, that if it is an extended trial version for one year, the vendor will not hide behind “with annual updates” and such, It will say clearly what will happen after one year from installation. What is the limitation, if any features that exist on the commercial version are missing, and if the giveaway is the latest version.

I've been using the old program ATnotes version 9.5 for probably 15 years on several computers. You can still find it. Small footprint and after you get the hang of it quite useful software. I'm surprised no one has come up with something like this since 2005.
